Blue J Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) One of the finest blues harp players who has ever lived passed away yesterday.  Thank goodness for the people we still have, and the younger people who are keeping the blues a vital form. There aren't many of the seminal early players left.  Cotton honed his craft playing with guys like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and B.B. King.  http://nytimes.com/2017/03/16/arts/music/james-cotton-dead-blues-harmonica-great.html RIP Edited March 17, 2017 by Blue J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Heard of his passing yesterday. May he rest in peace. He is on so many Muddy albums that I cherish dearly. Plus, his own Take Me Back is one of the great blues albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
